    Here in this question the Answer would be N75E because angle between N15W (true dip) and N75E is 90°. The second possible answer can be S75W, but since this is not given in options so you can ignore this. W15S and S75W, both indicate the same but conventionally we measure angle from N or S, so S75W is better to use.

    Minus 90 and in anticlockwise direction South 75 W or west 15 south North 75 E can be taken because strike is bidirectional.
